Pauline Mosby?
The retrospective Carnegie Medal citation by CILIP provides this blurb About the Author (the shortest of more than fifty I have seen, with one blank): The WorldCat library record I have used as a source gives the first edition author name Pauline Mosby. --P64 (talk) 19:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Pauline Clarke graduated from Somerville College, Oxford and married the historian Peter Hunter Blair in 1969. She wrote under her own name and used a pseudonym, Helen Clare.


 * WorldCat itself conflates our writer with the 19th-century Pauline Mosby in composing the webpage "Mosby, Pauline" at WorldCat.
 * But the main section of that page --her top ten books in participating libraries-- seems to show that catalog records attribute many of our writer's books to Pauline Mosby as author.
 * See also Books by Pauline Mosby at Amazon.

 * It seems a strange error. I suppose it's the Pauline Mosby who was married to John Singleton Mosby in 1857; her maiden name was Pauline Clarke (or Clark), but she doesn't seem to have been a writer at all. It must be something to do with the way WorldCat processes information. In which case, this calls its reliability into question. Robina Fox (talk) 01:36, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
